ABSTRACT |
Improved Gastroparesis and Electrogastrography in Oriental Medical Treatment Gastroparesis is characterized by delayed gastric emptying due to disorder of gastric motility. Clinical symptoms of gastroparesis include abdominal pain, nausea, vomiting, abdominal distention, abdominal fullness prematurely after meals, and weight loss. The cause is still unknown, but impaired motor activity or impaired myoelectrical activity may be possible causes. The exact treatment of gastroparesis has not been established yet. Thus, symptomatic treatment and prokinetic agents have been utilized chiefly. Electrogastrography(EGG) is to determine electrical activity of gastro-smooth muscle. EGG determine gastric slow wave exactly, and the contraction of gastro-smooth muscle appears to increase the amplitude of gastric slow wave. EGG has now been used to diagnose gastroparesis and to estimate its prognosis. Recently, we experienced one case of gastroparetic patient which was misdignosed as acute cholecystitis. For this case, we have applied herb medicine, acupuncture, electro-acupuncture and depletion of blood. After treatment, patient was free from all symptoms. Therapeutic effect was confirmed in EGG. Therefore, we report this oriental medical experience with investigation of the literature. |
